It is physically impossible for me to love a story with that headline any more than I already do. Via The Smoking Gun, Natasha West was a customer at an Oak Lawn, Illinois Denny’s just looking for some pancakes. Specifically, all of the pancakes, as she had ordered the $4 all-you-can-eat pancake special. When West was informed, however, that a singular order of the special only applied to her and that her entire party could not partake of her limitless flapjack bounty, police say she reacted poorly. West is alleged to have begun cursing and throwing punches at her server...

In May 2014, NRA staffers secretly tested the Armatix iP1, the so-called "smart gun" that at the time was causing a furor among both media and gun owners nationwide. What we found was disappointing at best, and alarming at worst. NRA sent a team of firearm experts to an undisclosed range (at the request of our hosts) to do real-world tests of the iP1. To our knowledge, NRA is the only organization that has actually conducted real-world tests of the iP1 under range conditions. Guns & Gear Editor and team member Frank Winn penned a review of the iP1 for...

It's the 45th anniversary of the infamous exploding whale. Here's the 1970 video with KATU's Paul Linnman:

Got 20 bucks? You could own a piece of the Moon–or, at any rate, you could own a piece of paper telling you that you own a piece of the Moon. If that's too close to home, you can opt to buy property on Mars, Venus, Mercury, Io, or Pluto. The Lunar Embassy, owned and run by entrepreneur Dennis Hope, is able to sell shares in these important resources because Hope has declared himself to be the owner of several parts of outer space. So far, no one has formally challenged him. It's a surprisingly popular business plan. Although the...

Here’s one way to take a bite out of crime. In a move seemingly inspired by the Bond flick “Live and Let Die,” crocodiles may soon be used to guard death row inmates in Indonesia. News of plans for the island prison were reported by The Guardian, citing local media reports. The nation’s anti-drugs agency head, Budi Waseso, says there’s one key advantage to using the reptiles to guard drug dealers marked for death: The cold-blooded killers can’t be bribed. Waseso has also vowed to scour Indonesia for his crocodile guards himself. “We will place as many crocodiles as we...

The College Football Czar: Week 11 Week ten in review: The number of unbeaten teams has dwindled to six, as TCU, LSU, Michigan State, Memphis and Toledo were all defeated. There can be no more than four left by the start of the bowl season, because Baylor and Oklahoma State must play each other, and Ohio State and Iowa are on course to meet in the Big Ten title game. The CFP isn’t placing such a high value on that 0 in the L-column, though, and that's a good thing. As great a season as 9-0 Iowa is having, it's...

My idea is to leverage the limitless talent on FreeRepublic to produce a weekly audio/video clip of current events that can be picked up and played by conservative news outlets. It would be "quasi open-source", FR only. The theme. The theme and presentation would mirror what was done at NFL Films but with a political/social/conservative message instead of football. Those familiar with NFL Films and the work of Ed Sabol with the voice of John Facenda, combined with the background music should know what I'm talking about. I firmly believe the talent here on FR can reproduce that style and...

But privately, the department is telling some of its agents they cannot work with officers using such cameras as part of joint task forces, according to people familiar with the discussions. “We are well past the date where it’s acceptable for major law-enforcement entities to not have a policy,” Mr. Marlow said. A Justice Department spokesman said the agency “is looking into this issue and has been consulting with the law enforcement components” within the department. Nearly a year ago, in response to the Ferguson crisis, President Barack Obama announced a multiyear, $75 million effort to fund body cameras for...

For those of you who live in the states getting nailed by this blend of snow/rain/cold/tornadoes, maybe you can explain this unusual event being its only the first/going on second week of November. How did "Al Gores Global Warming" create this first "Blizzard From Hell" that is wreaking havoc in the west/rust belt. Lets hear some of your scientific explanations.

PARODY On June 7th, 1789, the night before James Madison proposed The Bill of Rights to the House of Representatives, he sat down to pen the first draft of the first amendment. The following is what many scholars believe to be the original and unedited version of that amendment.... VIDEO AT LINK
